Just because he's home again...
I had high hopes given this recipe, but it wasn't the best chocolate cake ever. It did look pretty though.
Maybe if it was made with real chocolate, instead of unsweetened baking chocolate. And maybe if it used butter instead of shortening. The texture was perfect, even if the taste wasn't the best. Not bad, just not the best.
Before dessert, we had T-bone steaks, baked potatoes, mushrooms sauteed in sherry, and steamed broccoli. Mmm...
P.S. See, John, I take pictures of food for my blog too!
